Oh dear, I can't bring myself to listen to those episodes. But so I'm clear, has someone actually made some kind of radio drama about JM's life? Featuring June Whitfield?! Am I living in the Upside Down?
I was thinking the same! It’s all too surreal. I honestly thought that the references to a radio play made about her life was like a running joke among the fraus, I had no idea it was a REAL THING.

I am Grunka'ing because I have been BUSY.

I would like to say 3 things:

Jack is an insufferable arse.

You Fraus can tattle.

Now duck off.

Happy to help Jack:

1. Rinse them (the most important step)
2. Rinse them again
3. Boil to death
4. Add Marmite/Biscoff spread/polenta/custard creams/cheap, wet ham/lemon curd (any combination of the above will work, just use your maverick instincts!)
5. Season with plenty of (bottled) lemon and pepper
6. Pulverise them in your high-end blender of choice until the finished result looks like it's already been digested at least twice
7. Take photo while cradling bowl lovingly (using tongue, obvs)
8. Sell said photo for £14.99 to mugs with more money than sense

She was probably gutted you couldn’t fit the whole kit and caboodle on there.
‘I want it to say: Food writer, author, blogger, photographer, author, singer, concert pianist, ex-fire service call handler, book reviewer, poet, Ruby Rose’s stand-in, accidentally conquering my fears ...’
...
‘What do you mean, you can’t fit that all on a standard-sized business card?’
I wish I'd kept the business card from a RNR captain I once knew. It listed things like crocodile wrestler, lover, smooth talker, etc.

Christ! I hope you had carnal knowledge of him, he sounds amazing! Like Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone 😂

Babe, same.

I've been FIZZING reading the past few pages and have laughed up not only a lung, but assorted other organs too. You fraus and herren are all comic geniuses!

Come, come - it was you who teed off the day (night?) with that post-apocalyptic zinger. Absolute masterpiece, I’ve read it about, I’m going to say three, times. Like The Road crossed with It’s A Wonderful Life 😂

Props to the HE institutional frauen taking one for the team with the god-awful radio programme. I'm on a deadline today but happy to listen to more next week, cringe myself inside out, and report back.

She's determined to punish her parents for their wrongdoings, perceived or real, isn't she? I mean, it never happens that really bleeping old fruit trees die and have to be cut down, does it? And has she not considered that perhaps it was so painful for her dad to have to see the tree after his father had passed away that he just needed the reminder gone? God forbid anyone else should have feelings, or pain.

I'm a nail-biter of three decades so I've never actually had nails to know if they get minging (other than acrylics 💅🏻) and thus I've never actively commented on the detritus under her nails but... that is bleeping foul. No wonder she doesn't seem to have any friends, they all contracted dysentery and snuffed it after eating her food.
If eating jacks food is a surefire way to death then sign me up 😬

What's she on about "cooking again is a good sign'. Of what? Cooking in Edinburgh, cooking at home (polenta, the mess tin cake), she's always going on about cooking for the boy, she had a soup reducing on the hob for herself last week. So now we're simultaneously cooking and not cooking, as well as working and sleeping 22 hours a day, and not forgetting being a best selling successful author but also a poor, struggling freelancer. Got it.

When will she learn that spamming instagram effs up her engagement? Her 2 most recent pics haven’t even got 500 likes.
